Have had a few great meals here but since Christmas the service and quality of food has nose dived. We have been today for Sunday tea with friends, booked for 5pm. 3 different people took our drinks order? Half way through our food order the waitress disappeared and didn't come back! It was a restricted Sunday menu 6 choices but... More

I visited the Woodman on a Friday evening after the recent opening of the refurbished restaurant. It was a last minute decision to go out after grandma suggested she babysit! Since we hadn't celebrated out wedding anniversary so I facebooked the Woodman Inn and got a response they had a table and would be happy to celebrate with us! I... More

This was my fourth visit to The Woodman in as many years despite some poor recent reviews. The accommodation has undergone a very tasteful refurbishment; the facilities equalling those of other higher rated establishments. The staff were friendly and helpful and endeavoured to make our stay a good one. In general I felt the food was of a good standard,... More

Four of us visited the Woodman on Wednesday evening for a meal, we hadn't booked and got there about 8.15 ish. We asked if there was a table and the young waitress explained there were a couple who were almost finishing. However luckily some people left and we sat down. One of the staff asked the other if we had... More

Well, this is the second time in as many months we've visited this place, we only went the second time as it was a friends birthday and they enjoyed the last visit. However, this second visit for me was absolutely shocking, over priced food for what you get, I order the prawn cocktail (where was the sauce a very small... More

Visited twice in March - first time left a lot to be desired service very poor, hot food served on cold plates. Second (reluctant visit but was pre planned by friends) same again plus overheard staff including Manager, gossiping about customers and feel this is totally unacceptable and extremely rude and unprofessional!!!!! WILL NOT BE RETURNING

Not sure where the last reviewer ate but perhaps they have a problem paying for good food and service? Also not sure why the same unrealistic review was posted twice?! The Woodman by their own admission went through a low patch before Christmas by their own admission prior to takeover and change of chef - maybe the last reviewer was... More

The food was awful. No attention to detail. Fish served up atop wilting chips made them greasy and just soggy. Over dressed burgers that fell drastically short of the quoted 'what to expect a three star Michelin restaurant'. It doesn't even come close to Compo's Cafe in Holmfirth which is a fraction of the price. The service was non-existent although... More

A few years ago I vowed never to step foot in the Woodman again but I am really happy that I changed my mind! Under new ownership the Woodman has been transformed! From the moment we checked in we were greeting by friendly and attentive staff before being shown to our room! Wow!!! We stayed in the Larch suite. It... More
